BRIBERY IN BROOKLYN,
Some Sensational Facts Revealed to the In
vestigating Committee.

NEW YORK, May 2-The legislative com
mittee which has for some time been investi-
eating the municipal administration of
Brooklyn, struck some rather sensational tes-
tinony Friday. Henry w Pope, of the Citi-
zens Electric Light company, was on the
stand, His company and others were seeking
electric light franchises from the Brooklyn
common council Pope had been on the stand
before, but had refused point blank to an
Ewer questions as to the means employed to
get the franchise When the hearing opened
he was informed by the committee that
this sort of thing had gone far enough and
that unless he answered the questions put to
him he would be cited TO appear before the
legislature in Albany for contemps. Thus
admonished, Mr., Pope said that Fire Chief
Neyins, who had been taken into the COM
pany, told him that it would be necessary to
put up $500 in money to get the franchise.
The proportion of that amount to be paid by
witnesses company was half, or q, $50, which
he paid to Nevins in checks and notes, minus
one-fifth, which was Nevins' interest in the
company. The witness also identified check
stubs on the National City Bank of Brooklyn,
and recognized the Endorsements of Chief
Nevins on them. Nevins was never required
to give an account of the money. The other
half 1,1, was to be paid by the Municipal Electric

VIII Not Make ANY Statement.

New YORK, May 2. Archbishop Corri-
gan has concluded not TO make any statement
in regard to the existing controversy between
Dr. McGlynn, Henry George and others of
the Catholic church, in view of the fact that
an encyclical letter from Pope Leo XIII, bear
ing upon the land theory, is expected daily
From private sources it has been ascertained
that the George theories have been subjected
to critical examination at Rome, and that the
final report thereon is most unfavorable. In
this case the condemnation of the doctrines of
Henry George by the holy see will make it
heresy to teach them, and all who do so will
suffer accommodation. DR.. McGlynn will
then either have to recant or to abide the con-
